This colorful campaign chest is painted different colors to match the little girl’s room—genius!

Lonny Magazine featured this vintage green campaign piece. This would work so great in a nursery—all it needs is a changing pad on top!

Of course, there are nursery-specific furniture lines that have hopped on the campaign style bandwagon as well. In 2010, Nurseryworks debuted its Uptown collection, featuring a campaign style changing table.

This campaign chest is actually leather with rivets, making it feel rustic and masculine. This piece would be perfect in a little boy’s nursery, and it would last for years and years.

In the under $50 category, I have two favorites. First, I love our exclusive wipes cases in either the heart or fish scale pattern. I adore these because they are practical (let’s face it, wipes are a must in every diaper bag) and fashionable. I have a wipes case in every bag I own. The second is the silhouette plate and place mat. This is a personalized gift that all the moms in my store flip for. Simple and classic, it will be useful as well as a keepsake.

In the $50-$100 range, there is a ton to choose from. The first is one of my best-selling gifts of all time. A tbc exclusive, the custom barrette holder is the perfect gift for a little girl, and you can customize the colors to match your decor. The second item I adore in this price range is our chevron blanket in our signature colors.

Our $100 and over price range has some fabulous goodies as well. My very favorite is a signature ensemble—the bean’s bundle. This baby gift set is made up of twelve hand-selected items appropriate for each stage of baby’s first year.

One of our most extravagant items is our hand painted chevron table and chair set. This custom set can be painted to fit any color scheme. Designed by our own artists, this exclusive set is sure to be the hit of any shower.

We relaunched in May because it’s the month of mothers! Not only do we celebrate mother’s day, but Postpartum Support International has named May, National Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. To help support this important cause, 2% of every the bean’s closet sale will always be donated to Postpartum Support International, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote awareness, prevention and treatment of mental health issues related to childbearing in every country worldwide.

I hope you liked all my favorite the bean’s closet selections—we would love to hear which are your favorites!

WIN IT! One Project Nursery reader will win a $100 shopping spree to the bean’s closet!

The package will include a phone consultation discussing your needs and wants, with a design board and product links to follow.

Your nursery will be furnished with three beautiful Stokke pieces, built to last and grow with your child. The Stokke Sleepi offers its unique oval design, which is sure to look beautiful in any nursery. A Colgate Green Guard Certified Mattress is also included in the giveaway.

The Tripp Trapp chair‘s innovative design can literally last a lifetime—the chair can be used from babyhood to adulthood!

You can adjust the seat and footrest so it’s ergonomically correct for kids and adults. And did I mention the colors? The Tripp Trapp comes in classic colors that can match your dining room set or fun, eye-catching colors like the lime green above.

The Stokke Care Changing Table is an absolute space saver, and you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips.

Once your child no longer needs diaper changes, the changer can convert to a shelf or even a small desk.

They say that the cobbler’s child never has shoes, so what happens when a nursery designer’s little girl is born? Well, it’s the opposite of the age-old proverb—this cobbler’s child gets the Louboutins of nurseries. We wanted to share some of the images and elements of Alessia’s little lady’s tiny nest.

Blending white, gray and yellow—with a cheeky pop of navy—we worked to create a space that was both calm and serene but also cheerful and bright. We hope that sweet and special dreams, as well as happy and precious memories, always fill this room.

1. Living in New York City, space is at a premium. The Stokke brand caters to the constraints of the city without compromising on design or functionality. The Stokke Sleepi was the first item added to our mood board.

2. Compact yet functional, the Stokke Care Changing Table holds everything you need in an easy to reach location.

3. When looking for yellow and gray wall art, the Positive Art Print by Honeyboo caught our eye, but the words captured our hearts.

4. The walls were brightened with Dove and Sunshine paint by Serena and Lily—and yes, we love the names of the shades as much as the colors themselves.

5. Throw pillows complete a nest; this labyrinth pillow by Dwell Studio brings an energy to the room, and the cloud-shaped pillow, from Blabla Kids, was bought in France with this little room in mind.

6. We love the Joya Rocker, and the luxurious feeling of the microsuede fabric eases the hours spent rocking in it.

7.  Land of Nod’s “Not a Peep” crib bedding is both cute and calming, and we can’t help but hope that the name will encourage sleep.

8. We like the idea of continuing the stripes of the bedding at a larger scale in the Olin Gray Rug from Crate and Barrel.

9. Although the little one won’t be using the Tripp Trap Chair for a while, we love the rich, dark blue color. It’ll be used as a shelf until the little tush is ready to take its seat.

To honor Mother’s Day and all you mamas out there, Project Nursery, Stokke and My Tiny Nest teamed up to offer you all the chance to win three amazing Stokke pieces of your very own along with a My Tiny Nest design consultation!

WIN IT! One VERY lucky Project Nursery reader will win a Stokke Sleepi Bed, a Colgate Green Guard Certified Mattress, a Stokke Care Changing Table, a Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair and a design package by Nursery Designers My Tiny Nest. A $3000 value!!

Winner can select the color from available options for the Sleepi Bed, Care Changing Table and Tripp Trapp Chair (excluding the signature collection). Crib bedding and optional baby set for Tripp Trapp are not included.

Virtual design package will include a phone call with My Tiny Nest (an in-person meeting may be arranged if the winner lives in the NYC area) and a custom digital design board with links to follow.

HOW TO ENTER: To enter, comment below and let us know what you love most about motherhood or what you are most looking forward to about being a mom. Or, if you’d like to enter a special mom in your life, let us know why you think she’s wonderful. Winner will be chosen randomly. Contest ends Monday, May 21, 2012 at 11:59pm PST.

We decided on a color palette of cobalt blue, canary yellow, white and dove gray; after that, things started to fall into place. A dark wood sleigh crib and an elegant rocking chair from Restoration Hardware are showcased against soft gray walls. A bold cobalt stripe behind the crib creates height and an element of surprise.

One of our favorite elements of this nursery is the wood starbursts over the crib—with one white and one yellow, they help pull together the whole space.

The little boy who lives here loves to play with cars, trains and airplanes, so we made sure to incorporate those themes in the artwork throughout the space. A few well-placed toys add sophistication.

We finished off the design with modern textiles—we found a wonderful set of gray and white chevron crib bedding with yellow accents.

And a huge thanks, yet again, to Full Spectrum Photography for taking our fabulous photos.

Check out our designs for a “Modern Fairy Tale” styled nursery below. The details of each room can found on GILT’s little inspiration’s blog. Sale kicks off on Wednesday, May 9th at 12pm EST. Happy shopping!

Modern Fairy Tale: For the Prince or Princess

Modern Fairy Tale Nursery: For the Prince

Do the words “organic” and “natural” conjure hippy-dippy earth tones, dirt browns and garbage can green in your mind? Luckily, we are no longer stuck with these colorless options when it comes to going organic. Our favorite baby and children’s brands are now providing savvy and stylish, not to mention healthy and organic, options for our little ones. From cribs to bedding and changing tables to gliders, there are now healthy and safe options that will provide a stylish and safe home for years to come.

Most furniture is made with glues and plastics that contain harmful chemicals known to disrupt our immune systems and even cause cancer. At Sprout, we proudly provide organic and natural options for both the aspiring fashionista and the customer on a tight budget.

1. Rakshabella bedding – Handmade 100% organic Egyptian cotton bedding with the sophisticated unisex print is both a design and organic favorite. We especially love this bedding set for the milky blue elephant print or the sweet peachy-rose camel print, not to mention how soft and cozy the cotton is!

2. The Regency Crib by The New Traditionalist – Handmade in Connecticut from solid wood, no-voc paints or glues, not only is this crib a piece of art, acting as the centerpiece of the nursery, it is a crib built to last with its toddler conversion option. We especially love this crib for its sophisticated yet classic detail in the side panels. It’s available in over ten different colors.

3. Sprout Exclusive Glider – When Sprout could not find an all-organic glider, we decided to have one built for us in the US. Our glider is made of organic cotton, solid wood, formaldehyde-free glue and amazingly soft organic linen—a Sprout customer favorite!

4. Universal Changing Tray – If you are working with a small budget, it’s great to take inventory of what transitional pieces of furniture already exist in your home. For example, if you have a dresser, vanity or buffet that would look cute in your nursery, use it and simply add a universal changing tray and organic changing pad. We love the mix-and-match look!

5. Notneutral Rug – Notneutral makes 100% wool rugs free of harmful dyes, plastic coatings or flame-retardants. Choose from the modern links or more traditional print of flowers and birds. Rugs are often sprayed with scotch guard-chemicals and retardants; the healthiest option is 100% wool with no harmful dyes or fabric finishers.

6. Coyuchi bedding – Coyuchi is a great option for organic bedding. Made locally in Northern California, their seersucker crib skirts, embroidered sheets, bumpers and mix-and-match style is perfect if you’re looking for just a sheet, crib skirt, bumper or an entire set.

7. Caravan Crib – The caravan crib by Kalon offers a simple style with a pop of color. Made in the USA with no MDF, we love the turquoise blue for either boy or girl. Mix with corals and yellows as a bright, fresh option.

8. Naturepedic Changing Pad – Naturepedic makes organic changing pads in addition to mattresses. We love these changing pads for their sturdiness and versatility; great for converting an existing dresser into a changing table.

Just for fun we’ve created two design boards to get you excited. They showcase our top picks for both the boy and girl “Eco-Chic” styled nursery. The details of each room can found on GILT’s little inspiration’s blog.

This Junior Alberto Winged Glider is a knockout—it definitely has the potential of graduating from nursery to grown up chair immediately.

The Hayes Glider is roomy with plenty of space for snuggling as your child grows. Sold!

The Roll Arm Rocker looks like an updated classic rocking chair.

For an excellent price, the Poang Rocking Chair in Karlsro at Ikea is a steal.

Dwell Studio’s Savoy Glider takes a modern approach with lots of fabric options, including their trademark big dot pattern.

Do you have any sourcing tips to share for gliders? I’d love to hear them and pass them along to the soon-to-be moms out in the blogosphere.
